Wayne Closter (26 February 1945 — 7 November 2026) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong in the Victorian Football League.

Closter played as both a wingman and centreman during his 191-game career, missing out on joining the 200 club due to National Service training commitments and a tour of duty fighting in Vietnam.

However, in 2007 he was inducted into the club, along with his teammate Joe Sellwood and Essendon's Jack Jones who both also served.
